heading of a newspaper artlc1t ytonw

everybody who wished to say some
thing disrespectful of that body. No
one except those who have been
members of legislature know the
many conflicting interests to be con-
tended with and how difficult it is to
secure the consideration of . matter
eve purely of local nature, and
for this reason the public denounce
delays and condemn the law makers
as whole when no individual or
perhaps the whole body are to blame.
They are human and no doubt do
what they think Is to the interest of
their constituency, but each one be-
ing from different locality are so
watchful of the peoples interest that
altogether of the same mind really
clog the wheels of progress. Honest
criticism of individuals is admissa-
BILE, but the only excuse for words of
contempt for Legislature is that it
is American where every body exer-
cises the privilege of finding fault as
suits their taste.

ANCIENT MINSTRELSY.
The Men Who Made Music in the
Fourteenth Century.

The king in those times had accomp-
anying him, when he went m his war
like expeditions, besides the eians
of the army, and expressly alta j to
his own train, fifteen or more min. els.
The mobiles had often large bands OF
them in their houses. We read in the
household book of the Earls of North
cumberland of the regulations for tn
minstrels; and Bishop Percy, one
that family, in his Hermit of Wark-
WORTH" says:
The minstrel of thy noble house,
All clad in robes of blue,
With silver crescents on their arms,
Attend in order due.
Trokeiow, the chronicler, gives us a
very curious passage, demonstrating at
once the state assumed by minstrels at
this period, and the free access which
they had to the very presence of
royalty. What is more, it shows that
women were now accredited minstrels.
When Edward II in 1916 solemnized
the Feast of Pentecost and sat at table
in royal state in the great hall at West
minister, attended by the peers of the
realm, certain woman dressed in the
habit of minstrel, riding on a great
horse trapped in the minstrel fashion,
entered the hall, and going round the
several tables, acting the part of min
strel, at length mounted the steps to the
royal table, on which she deposited
letter. Having done this, she turned
her horse, and saluting all the company,
departed. When the letter was read it
was found to contain severe animal
versions on the kings conduct, at which
he was greatly offended, and the door
keepers being called and reprimanded
for admitting her, they replied that it
palace to deny admission to Ministries,
